Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to "sweetness and melody", she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann's signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now.

Lost in Space Lyrics
Aimee Mann
Verse 1:
Lost in Space above I'm drifting and
To a place where planets shift and then erased its features lift in the glare
Verse 2:
But I'm the stuff of happy endings
that mostly bluff belief's suspending that
close enough for just pretending to care
Chorus 1:
and I'm pretending to care
when I'm not even there
gone but I don't know where
Verse 3:
Well, she's the face and I'm the double
that keeps the pace and clears the rubble that
lost in space fills up the bubble with air
Chorus 2:
by just pretending to care
like I'm not even there
gone but I don't know where
Bridge:
It spins like a sun
and then cannot tell
the lie from the ...
Chorus 3:
so baby beware
I'm just pretending to care
like I'm not even there
gone but I don't know where
Coda:
gone but I don't know where
gone but I don't know where
